Urban Workshop provides a unique 'shop class' experience where students use professional, adult-sized tools and equipment in a real production shop environment to build projects they can take home.
Urban Workshop's Summer Camps offer a hands-on learning experience where students aged 10-16 engage with both traditional and modern tools in a real makerspace environment. Participants undertake projects in mechanics, design, fabrication, textiles, electronics, and woodworking. For example, in Level 1, students build BMX bikes, custom shirts, a light-up marquee star, a toolbox, and a race car, learning to safely use hand tools, digital design software, and basic electronics. As they progress through the four levels, they are introduced to more advanced tools and techniques such as power tools, machine operation, welding, jewelry making, 3D design, Arduino programming, and laser etching. The program aims to develop foundational maker skills, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and confidence with various fabrication techniques, allowing students to take home their completed projects.
Each camp meets Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm, with students engaging in hands-on projects using various tools and technologies.
This camp is ideal for young makers aged 10-16 who are curious about how things work and want to gain practical, real-world skills in a fun, hands-on environment, blending STEM concepts with industrial arts.
